this simple script renames your ripped mp3 (usually named 01.mp3, 02.m3...by the ripper taking the titles from a file named "titles" which contains titles in order; this is because it's easier to write a single list of titles than renaming files one by one. And after all you could even find the titles' list on the net in a hurry!
as the ugly code itself explains, the titles' list resides in a file named (i'm original) "titles"!
I know, it's not beautiful code, neither good programming exercise, but my small brother who spends his time ripping every CD he's got, found it REALLY useful!!!
Enjoy

perl -le 's ssSss.s sSsSiss.s s$sSss.s s.$s\107ss.print'
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
open (TITLES, "< titles" );
$counter = 0;
while ($title=<TITLES>)
{
$counter ++;
$number = $counter;
if ($counter < 10)
    {    
        $number = "0$counter";
    }
chomp $title;    
$title = "$number - $title.mp3";
print $title;
print "\n";
$number = "$number.mp3";
rename $number, $title;
}
close (TITLES);
